Chapter 21: The Rhetoric

So much of this chapter applies to my work.
I am really glad I read this chapter and understood Logos, Ethos & Pathos. I have been struggling with sales and I really found it easy to blame the economy or the financial situation on Wall St.
By dissecting Dr. King’s speech, I was able to think about my presentations at work and compare the ability and thought I put into what I am trying to sell.
There are so many facets to what goes into a sale, and by understanding how to produce rhetoric in an intelligent form, I think I will have more success.
I know I will never compare to Dr. King, but by mirroring him and his effectiveness of speech and persuasion, I believe I will find success in sales.
